Eclipse 2024 in Erie, PA

I decided to make this a roadtrip. Leave From Philadelphia. Head to Erie, Pa on Lake Erie to see the eclipse. On to Kalamazoo, MI to see an old friend. Then through Canada following Lake Erie to Buffolo, Toronto. Back through Niagra Falls into NY and onto the Finger Lakes Region in NY. Then Home back to Philly.

Comleted as planned. Did about 2100 miles in 8 days. Here is my Drive Path....

Leaving on Sunday for 1 week with Morfy. Driving to Eirie, PA by Sunday evening. Monday morning we'll check weather forcast and decide to go NE or SW.
